Description

Hi
I am an outgoing, adventurous and independent woman with a sunny personality. I am young at heart, compassionate and caring. I recently retired early from the UK's National Health Service (NHS) where I held a senior management position leading a team undertaking research and innovation projects for over 23years . Some of this work has taken me abroad and has involved working alongside economically challenged NGO's to implement adult community projects (especially peer-supported). I have also developed innovative service models with a recovery focus for both children and adults in the UK. In addition to the above I have a certificate in teaching.

I would now like to travel, learn new languages, experience new cultures and meet new people. Since retirement I have undertaken volunteering work in Africa and Australia. These have been Co-ordinating roles with responsibility for overseeing daily management and other volunteers as well as undertaking usual daily chores.

I am happy to support you with my skills gained in my career, in particular with implementation of innovative ideas, if this is something that you need? I love a challenge!

Having said all that, I have done all the usual stuff for someone my age. I have successfully brought up two children and have managed a busy family home, including cooking, cleaning, looking after pets and some DIY house maintenance, gardening etc. I love nature and rurality and find myself increasingly becoming more ecologically minded, enjoying the more simple things in life. I have also completed teacher training in mindfulness meditation and I am keen to explore its use with both children and adults. I am happy to share this new-found hobby with you.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

All things domestic, including raising children, running a home and everything that goes with that, including cooking, bread making (love sour dough), cleaning and gardening. I have renovated a few houses in my time and quite practical when it comes to painting or climbing a ladder etc. Professionally, I am educated to Masters degree level and also have a teaching certificate. I am skilled in developing and implementing research and also innovation projects. I am also skilled in measuring improvement and in evaluation (quantitatively and qualitatively) and formulating reports of findings. Good IT skills have been fundamental to my work along with writing skills (including publications and grant writing). I have good management/business acumen if you need something driving forward. I have a qualification in project management and experience in delivering projects to time and target.
